Four months after launching ‘It’s a Girl’s Thing’, a programme focused on adolescent hygiene and personal care, the St Thomas office of the Social Development Commission (SDC) has expanded the initiative to a second school in the parish. Last week, 70 female students at Robert Lightbourne High School in western St Thomas benefited from the programme, which promotes personal hygiene, menstrual health, confidence and self-care. The initiative was first introduced at Paul Bogle High School in May.
